Halloween

After two steroidal epidural injections, I am finally out of pain. I'm not crying anymore and I can walk again!!! I'm hoping this will work and am saving the third injection in case I need it. Going to see a neurosurgeon at Northwestern in two weeks as the doctors here want to operate. In my mind, that is a last resort!

Did a few pages while I was stuck at home dealing with my injury and the construction in the basement. The carpet is being installed right now and I can't wait for it to be done! I can't take the mess and disorganization that my house has become. I need order! BUT, I now have a REAL art room for myself and I had it painted a light pink. I'm not sure I really like the color, but I can always change it. I think I'm going to make it my mom cave and really have fun decorating it so I love working in there. I still don't have any natural light as it is in the basement, but it is my own space and I can't wait to get in there again!!!
My kids collected a RIDICULOUS amount of candy on Halloween and of course I'm the one who can't stop eating it! This happens every year. They both went as Ninjas and had lots of fun

at our neighborhood party and then trick-or-treating with friends.
Here they are doing their best ninja poses before their school party.
